. . . my green small embellishments drawers will barely close . . .
. . . and my scrap file is full of solid . . .
. . . and patterned paper scraps!
And, of course, I associate greens with Christmas and plan to complete my Christmas cards this weekend. I had a few pieces of solid scraps left over from the cards I made earlier this week at Crafty Tuesday, so I started by punching those into a variety of shapes.
Next, I pulled up my blog reader intending to use some of my time today to catch up with a week's worth of unread posts. Jacky's Christmas cards using scraps was all the inspiration I needed to get started on my weekend creating. I copied her design and completed two simple cards.
As Jacky so eloquently stated in her post, "simple didn't necessarily mean quick!"
What are you working on this weekend? Will you be joining in with Jennifer Grace's Frosty Festivities?
perfect for using up those scraps!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, and yes I hope to be joining in wirh Jennifer this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI've just seen Jackys great cards on her blog, and I'm with you, they're perfect to make with those great scraps you have
ReplyDeleteYou and Jackie have both created great cards with your scraps! Good luck with the card making this weekend. I've hardly been home at all this week, and the weekend isn't looking much better. Hoping to get back to it next week.
ReplyDeleteLove how your cards have turned out,Melissa.....I think I'll try some with a white background....it gives quite a different feel to them.
ReplyDeleteI loved Jacky's cards and I love these too - as I said to her, I tried to make a version of a card like this last year and it didn't work out at all. I couldn't get it to look right. You've nailed it!
ReplyDeleteLove the scrappy trees. I always feel so good when i can use up a good bit of scraps.
